Jenny (schooner)
The ''Jenny'' was an alleged English schooner and the subject of an unproven legend. The story goes that the ''Jenny'' became frozen in an ice-barrier of the Drake Passage in 1823, only to be rediscovered in 1840 by a whaling ship, the bodies aboard being preserved by the Antarctic cold. The original report has been deemed unsubstantiated. The earliest known source for the story appears to be an article in the '' Wiener Zeitung'' published on 19 February 1841. In the following weeks, the same text was printed in at least seven other newspapers. On the occasion of the McClintock Arctic expedition, the story of the schooner Jenny was remembered again: for example, in an anonymous article in an 1862 edition of ''Globus'', a popular German geographical magazine. Account The supposed account describes how the ship left its home port on the Isle of Wight in 1822. (Translated from Globus, Bd 1, 1862, pp. 60 –61) The ship was discovered frozen in ice in the Drake Passage by a Ca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Night Rains
''Night Rains'' is the eleventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Janis Ian, released in 1979 on Columbia Records.
